Below is an interchange in a 170k population city after public transit is switched off. (The colours are representative of the zones: Residential - Green Commercial - Blue Office - Light Blue Industrial - Yellow) As you increase population of your city, your city must be able to handle the increasing traffic activity. This graph shows typical trips our cims make in a day. So, of all these trips, Residential would be the Origin, and rest are Destinations. Residential > Industrial/Office > Commercial > Residential The common Origin & Destination (O&D) pairs for commuting traffic include:Ī more complex trip would be something like this: Cargo traffic is responsible for the movement of goods, particularly important in Industrial zones. In the game, passenger traffic consist mainly of commuters, as tourist trips are very minimal, so we will focus our discussion on commuter traffic. There are two main types of traffic: commuting and cargo. Let’s begin.įirst, let us understand how traffic is generated and their operating rules. Granted, these may not be the most optimal solution for the game, but it will make your cities a little bit more realistic.įor me, this is not just a game. This guide integrates real-world urban planning theories and models with game mechanics of Cities: Skylines, in order to produce realistic cities which conform to game rules. I do, however, construct pedestrian bridges where necessary. For example, I do not use excessive ramps for the purpose of eliminating traffic signals in road grids or avoiding congestion by having circular grid plans. I also do not follow real-world maps as blueprints. Rather than attempting to optimize cities for game mechanics, I try to utilise as much planning methodologies and theories as possible, to create truly realistic cities. The purpose of this guide is to share my knowledge in planning and experiences gained from playing the game with everyone. I’ve also been building my last city for a month and a half now. I pre-ordered Cities:Skyline when I first heard of it, and now has accumulated more than 130 hours of gameplay. As a kid, I’ve always loved drawing things from maps, or draw imaginary maps of mountains, rivers, and cities from my mind. This guide is originally written by Tulip In the Eye.
